    Why the hell is NBA more popular than NHL? I mean, NHL is so much more intense than NBA.

    basketball is boring, it's basically back and forth scoring. First person to 100 wins.

    So check, stealing, shooting at a person blocking the goal, and break-aways are more boring than 'Oh this team just scored, so now we score and then they score durr durr durr'.

    I know there's a lot more to it than that, but the games are mostly so close in basketball that you only need to watch the final period. Which you can almost say about any sport, to be honest. I'm just griping because I think Hockey should be higher on the list of sports to consider than Basketball.

    holy shit the nba is almost here i'm so excited

    though it's going to be tough to top last season

    if houston stays healthy they might be the best team in the league (enormous if)

    boston will drop off but i think will still win the east

    the sixers and trailblazers both are a bit overrated

    this is the year the spurs start their decline

    and elton brand is the most amount of dick that it is possible to be

    Raptors are going to sneak into the first round of the playoffs and lose 4 and out.

    unless colderone is injured severely, and then they just lose.

    and they can do that by what, a .500 record?

    okay, it's not that bad, but they will play a better team and get beat. unless bosh learned how to be a franchise player at the olympics and carries the team on his back.

    the raptors are a solid team

    they lost point guard depth in ford, but if calderon can extend his productivity last year in 30 minutes to 38-40 it won't be that big of a deal. knowing he has the reins of the team may even improve his play.

    bosh is very good and adding jermaine o'neal was big. he's not what he used to be but he handles the ball well for a big man, can run the pick and roll with calderon, and gives the raptors much needed-depth inside.

    they will be better then last year, but on the whole the east is better. i can't see them getting better than the 4 seed but i also don't see them dropping below 6.

    ugh, hate being a wizards fan. they are just good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to get over the hump. though thats hard to call this year, with the east starting to get not shitty again. as much as i love arenas and his blog posts, i hate that he's out yet again and i'm scared he's pretty much done being an elite scoring guard. really wish we never picked up his option. but as long as we got badass caron butler, we got a puncher's chance.

    I wanted to pick up Boozer but he got taken early and I'm afraid after the playoffs last season

    edit: Honestly I don't know what is going to happen to the guy and I see Paul Millsap being huge.

    I mean he has the athleticism and defensive prowess that Boozer lacks. The only thing he doesn't have is that dreamy midrange shot. Other than that I can see him being very instrumental in case Boozer darts for Miami.

    They didn't win, no, but they went on a 20+ win streak last year. And the Astros made it to the World Series the year before that. And The Dynamo kick so much ass in my stadium and I love it.
